NFS-safe file locking with timeouts for POSIX and Windows.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The flufl.lock library provides an NFS-safe file-based locking
|
|||
|
|
algorithm influenced by the GNU/Linux open(2) manpage, under the
|
|||
|
|
description of the O_EXCL option.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The assumption made here is that there will be no outside
|
|||
|
|
interference, e.g. no agent external to this code will ever link() to
|
|||
|
|
the specific lock files used.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Lock objects support lock-breaking so that you can’t wedge a process
|
|||
|
|
forever. This is especially helpful in a web environment, but may not
|
|||
|
|
be appropriate for all applications.
